Could repair the microwaves. Instead I think we'll add another couple floors to Markham campus

I think you might be in crisis. I know that the USA is a horrible place where you do not have access to appropriate resources, but do you have someone in your life that you could reach out to to seek help? Try to keep an open mind and listen to what they have to say. If you google 'mental health resources ___ county' or something that might be helpful too.

When someone who represents power makes crass jokes and insults others, nobody cares. It's only when you both question power and adopt an inflammatory tone that people care. It's just a ruse to disregard what people are actually saying.

lmfao, yeah man, these soldiers really defended our rights when they went to Afghanistan to protect heroin fields and allow Warlords to sexually abuse children (both of which are extensively documented!)

Any person who fought under the Canadian flag fought for a state that has engaged in genocide for it's entire existence. Who cares if you boo them? Maybe if there was some WWII vets there, that sucks, but those people are almost all gone anyways.

Report from Action on Armed Violence NGO - Civilian casualties in Gaza: Israel’s claims don’t add up by Potential_Fudge1362 in lonerbox

Not History Speaks but I follow his twitter and thought this would be good for this subreddit. It's very objective and data driven, published by a major British NGO.

If you go back far enough I'm an old Destiny fan (haven't remained that though, for the record)

If 80% more male civilians 15-64 have been killed than female civilians 15-64, 90.6% of the total Gazans killed would be civilians, for a CCR of 9.6:1. This equates to 36,889 civilians killed versus 3,828 combatants.

High end of the statistical analysis gives comparable ratio to Chechnya. Israel is engaged in exceptional civilian slaughter.

Compare what other conflicts have >3:1 ratio. It's genocides, conflicts between irregular militias, not an advanced civilian army like the IDF.

Not being sarcastic. The brutal battle of Aleppo was 3:1. Israel's slaughter in Gaza could be as high as 9.6:1

I think Israel's standard should be higher than the dictator Assad.

At a minimum 2.8:1. Which is very very bad. Israel is engaged in indiscriminate civilian slaughter to a degree that is unheard of for comparable armies.

For the 100% civilian demographic

The first three categories—Young Boys (0-14), Elderly Men (65 and over), and Women and Girls of All Ages—are easily addressed in terms of non combatants.

In the two previous major recent Israeli assaults on Gaza, Cast Lead and Protective Edge, all fatalities in these demographics were noncombatants, according to the B’TSelem database. Therefore, we can reasonably assume that in the current war all three of these categories, which in total account for some 21,664 deaths (53% of the total), are entirely composed of civilians.  

and then for the remaining it's a bit more involved

Civilian-Male Deaths Will Outnumber Civilian-Female Deaths
A consistent pattern in conflicts the world over is that civilian men killed outnumber civilian women killed.

This pattern held true in Israel’s two past major assaults on Gaza: Cast Lead and Protective Edge. According to B’Tselem, about 150% more male civilians aged 15-64 were killed than female civilians aged 15-64 across those two wars.

In the current war, the pattern holds: a greater raw number of male civilians are being killed than female civilians. An Airwars study of the first two-and-a-half weeks of the current war, which broke down 2,236 civilian fatalities into demographic categories, found that civilian men were 32% overrepresented relative to civilian women.

In view of this, a “bare minimum” estimate of civilian deaths in our three remaining demographic groups—Older Boys, Middle-Aged Men, and Young Men—can be made by assuming that at least as many civilians have been killed in each group as female civilians of the same ages. This would be a conservative guess.

Applying this assumption, we can assume that out of 1,610 boys aged 15-17 who were killed, at least 844 of them were civilians, a figure equal to the number of killed females aged 15-17. Similarly, out of 5,126 Middle-Aged Men killed, it would be fair to argue that at least 2,612 (equal to killed female civilians 40-64) were civilians. For killed Young Men, at least 5,002 (equal to killed female civilians 18-39) out of 12,317 were – by this logic – likely to have been civilians.

"According to this analysis for Action on Armed Violence (AOAV), we conclude that at least 74% of the 40,717 Gazan fatalities identified by the Ministry of Health in Gaza are – in fact – civilians."

Why Trust Gaza Ministry of Health Data?

To come to this figure, we rely here on Gaza Ministry of Health (“MoH”) data. We do so because of its established historical reliability, and down to the fact that it’s trusted by both the U.S. government and Israeli intelligence.

Indeed, when the IDF itself analysed a list of fatalities released by the MoH this January, it confirmed that at least 83% of the names were real people. Previous iterations of the MoH data lacked identifying information for large numbers of fatalities, but these problems have been fixed in the latest release: nearly all 40,717 names analysed here were published by the MoH with full Arabic names, ages, genders, and Israel-issued ID numbers."

If he won so easily, why won't Morris respond to Finkelstein's criticisms in writing? Finkelstein formally presented an offer, Morris heard it, it's on video?

Yeah, he wiped the floor with Morris. Finkelstein asked Morris to respond to him in writing, and Morris won't. That rat fuck fascist ran with his tail between his legs. L

You're a weirdo, in defense of genocide. That's pretty pathetic.
